Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 58 Arrangement
Shooting a coyote is just a small adjustment after work, and it will not affect everyone's continued work.

Chen Ruobai and Roy are not idle, they are preparing for a new job now.The preliminary preparations for the new mine must be done well. They are also preparing for seamless connection now, and they will start the preliminary preparations directly.

You must also bring a gun. If you encounter a black bear on a narrow road, you need to be prepared.Now that I don’t have any weapons in my hands, I don’t know what to do. The working environment is relatively harsh, so there is no big mistake in being careful.

Roy looked around and said with nostalgia, "We have worked here for a long time, at least two or three gold rush seasons."

"Then you know the living point and the ore storage point." Chen Ruobai said immediately, "Any suggestions?"

Roy became serious, and said to Chen Ruobai, "My suggestion is not to pan for gold here. We have found many mines here. We have searched every inch of land here, and there will be no more gold here! "

Chen Ruobai didn't think so, and pointed to the land he circled earlier, "I know this place has been dug before, but I plan to try again. That's our excavator, where should the living quarters be arranged?"

Roy didn't hesitate, pointing to the east and said, "It's relatively open and flat, and it's also far away from the work area."

This is a good thing, now you can start the preparation work directly.To distribute the living area and work area well, especially the living area, the preparatory work in the early stage needs to be paid more attention to.

Drains, antennas, including preparing the foundation and so on.All these things also need to be prepared. If these things are not prepared, there will be no way to work efficiently in the future, and mining will inevitably race against time.

The two of them started to get busy, there were still many things to do, Chen Ruobai didn't dare to waste time.

Roy looked around and said to Chen Ruobai, "I'm going to pull the wires here, it will take me a day. You don't have to worry about this, I will connect the water for domestic use to the stream in the mountain, we have water purifiers."

That's the way it is, tap water and the like are definitely not good, and it is unlikely that there will be a lot of water for washing mines now.But domestic water can basically be guaranteed, and there is also a water purifier that can be used as a guarantee, which is no problem.

Mining in the mountains is like this. It is impossible to go well in everything. In many cases, you can overcome it if you can.If you really want to enjoy life, don’t stay in the mountains, it’s the most comfortable and convenient place to be in the town.

With an experienced old gold digger, many things can be let go, and Chen Ruobai doesn't have to do everything himself.

Back at the camp, seeing Abigail packing the ingredients, Chen Ruobai asked, "How do you feel here?"

"It's not very good, but I can overcome it." Abigail said with a smile, "Life here is no different from that in a town. The only downside is that you can't play games or watch movies."

This is also a fact, and Chen Ruobai made a plan, "Wait until the end of September or early October, when our work in the mine is over, you will have several months to watch movies. At that time, you and Javier will not have to leave the room, say Maybe there will be a baby next year."

Abigail was too lazy to talk to Chen Ruobai, but there was another saying, "I like my current job very much, and I can make money. This year's gold rush season is great, and Javier and I can easily buy a house. Buying a house, buying a car, we might You can pay the full amount and leave next year’s property tax.”

There is really such a possibility, and this time I can definitely be confident, because Devi has indeed made money.

Buying a house in the United States is not 'permanent'. After buying a house, you have to pay property taxes ranging from 1% to 3% of the house value every year.If you don't pay, it will naturally mean that the house will be confiscated and auctioned. This is not a once-and-for-all matter.

Although Alaska seems to be very remote, it is also one of the nine states in the United States that has no state income tax, but the property tax is relatively high, which is 3.68%.That is to say, if the price of the house appraised by the relevant department is 100 million US dollars, the property tax of [-] US dollars will be paid every year.

This is also a burden for many people. After all, the IRS is the last thing to offend in the United States.

"How is your house decided?" Chen Ruobai was very curious, "You have been researching about the house in Anchorage, right? Do you have a choice now?"

Mentioning this, Abigail became even more excited, "I had taken a fancy to a house earlier, a two-story single-family house. The first floor has 185 square feet ([-] square meters), and we can make a recreation room and an open kitchen. And the dining room. There are four rooms on the second floor, which can be the master bedroom and the baby room. The only thing I don’t like is the [-]-foot lawn, which we have to tidy up according to the government’s requirements.”

This is not just talking casually. There is a lawn at the door, but it does not mean that you can plant whatever you want.The lawn at the entrance is dry and ruined, and someone needs to be reminded to pay attention to its appearance, and it must be consistent with the overall style of the community.

Do whatever you want and be free, that is relative, but it is not true that you can do everything according to your own will.

Abigail was very curious, looked at Chen Ruobai and asked, "I also took a look at the new mine, it seems that it is not suitable for long-term work."

"After setting up this place, I will look for new mines. Everyone can earn money only by moving." Chen Ruobai didn't hide anything, "This is a long-term job. I also want to find mines for next year in advance."

With more mines in hand and more choices, only in this way can we have more confidence and more calmness.This is not casual talk, when there is no place to start work, it can only be a matter of anxiety, Chen Ruobai does not intend to repeat the same mistakes.

Montgomery came back and threw his safety helmet aside, "Go and see the mine, we have almost dug to the bottom. It seems that there is no further expansion of the excavation area, and we may not find any more mines."

Chen Ruobai pointed to the wooden house and said, "Then we are going to move, and all these houses will be moved."

A wooden house is actually a prefabricated house.These things are also common in the United States. If it is generalized, not every household in the United States has small villas or high-end villas.According to some statistics, there are about 2000 million people living in prefabricated houses in the United States.

It's just that those prefabricated houses are not the domestic work sheds. The prefabricated houses look relatively large, and may be a good place in the eyes of some people.

These prefabricated houses have wheels underneath and can be towed away at any time.Generally, there are no garages and independent yards, and the cars are placed in the open air, and the price can be set at tens of thousands of dollars.

And the current residence of Chen Ruobai and the others can actually be regarded as a prefabricated house.

Hearing what Chen Ruobai said, Montgomery jokingly asked, "Shouldn't we go to celebrate? Last time you went to sea, now we can go to sea too. If you don't hurry up, summer will be over, and it will be difficult to go to sea by then."

"I dug the second mine and went on vacation. Now I can't make any money from this little harvest." Chen Ruobai said bluntly, "Nathan, you have to understand that there are only more than 200 ounces of gold in this mine, which is not enough to make money." We make a lot of money."

It's not that Chen Ruobai is greedy, it's simply that with the improvement of experience, Chen Ruobai's appetite is getting bigger and bigger.The harvest of two or three hundred ounces can make some money, but it will definitely not satisfy him, and his requirements are higher.

Celebrations and the like, obviously cannot be such a small harvest, there must be more gold to make him satisfied and proud!

Get ready to get ready, it's all about getting busy for the transition.The mine in the river course has actually come to an end, and it has also entered the final stage, so it is better to transfer to the second mine immediately.

Busy and full, this is the normal state of gold diggers like Chen Ruobai, and many things must be fully and meticulously arranged.

Chen Ruobai had no objections, and Montgomery and the others actually had no objections either.

The main reason is that I am currently working, I am busy with work, and I am busy with making money.Enjoy things like life, wait until you are done with work, there is plenty of time to enjoy life!
